Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina once again denied speculation that he will join Barcelona this summer, but he would like to see the back of Gareth Bale.

In an interview with Radio Marca, Reina played down suggestions that he will replace Victor Valdes at the Nou Camp but he also joked: 'If Real Madrid signs Bale I'll be delighted. He causes me a lot of problems.'

Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes said he will
not renew his contract which is due to expire in 2014, which led to
speculation that Reina could move back to his homeland from Anfield.

But Reina said: 'Any talk of me joining Barca is just speculation. I've got a contract at Liverpool and I'm very happy here.

'I am sure Victor Valdes with have his
reasons for deciding to leave Barcelona. I respect him. He's my teammate
and friend. He'll be leaving with his head held high, as he's given his
all to Barcelona.'

Reina also dismissed suggestions that Liverpool's star forward Luis Suarez will make the move to La Liga.

'I can't see Luis Suarez playing in La Liga,' said Reina. 'I think he'll stay at Liverpool. He's a great player.'
